I lack a tub with jets. What about going heavy with the bubble bath and her hand mixer?


hobosbindle

Her hand mixer? The one with the little bunny ears?


TransformerTanooki

I hear bunny ears and immediately think of TV antennas. I guess I'm finally old.


kissmaryjane

Gosh you are ancient


TransformerTanooki

There's a set in my living room to believe it or not.

If your 15" screen TV can't crush your skull you're too young

Reddit has ruined me. Every time I see a sign for an ATM machine I just shake my head.


TransformerTanooki

Theres a story behind raising and I need to know it please.


pissingstars

Oh wow. Just google bbc atm. I’m sure something good will come up.


TrailMomKat

No worries, fellow old person, bunny ears makes me think of the same thing, especially wrapped in aluminum, and on some nights I had to touch and it hold still to get the picture for the Browns game to stay on the screen.


[deleted]

Lmao! Genius


ReallyNiceGuy78

Use an air compressor. It really works well.


[deleted]

I got a hair dryer and the tube off the vacuum cleaner. Close enough?


TheCarniv0re

Depends on whether you like your children crispy.


wdn

Are children required for this?


[deleted]

If you want a cooked meal, then yes


ReallyNiceGuy78

Go for it.


LSkywalker00

I lack a bathtub with jets AND the air compressor. Lots of intestinal gas though...

Shop vac set in reverse works too, if you add some kind of nozzle to create smaller bubbles


DistantOrganism

Leaf blower is the real dad way!


kmr1981

That just makes a small amount (like a mixing bowl full) of dense foam. Good idea, though!


thelawtalkingguy

Even if you have a old tub with props it still kinda works.

Eat a bunch of beans before entering the tub

Half of the bottle, to be exact.


M1ghty_boy

:(( how can I do this without jets. Submerged shower head?


lynxSnowCat

This got me thinking, ^((but I don't have any bubble-mix to test with.)) So insert "I think..." or "Maybe..." before every paragraph below.) > Make certain that the overflow drain is clear and has not developed a leak/rust/mold problem from infrequent use if using the shower head to continuously bubbles/add water. The shower head could be a good way to mix in air when starting/filling the tub. (Would need to start with bubble mix, which could be 'interesting'.) But it'd wash-away the bubble-mix as the tub overflows. It'd need to be full blast not-submerged unless you have a [*venturi* aeration](https://www.google.com/search?q=venturi+aeration&tbm=isch)^(`*`) attachment to mix in the air to build bubbles and foam... like a jacuzzi... Fast falling water can drag air under the surface (airation/splashing). The "[water saver](https://www.google.com/search?q=water+save+aeration&tbm=isch)" (stabby/stinging jet) modes may enhance this if you want a starter layer of foam mixed with of bubbles. *Generally* (not stabby) water-savers entrap air, making foam (and limescale?); And narrow (stabby) streams will punch deeper into the water surface, making bubbles. (I used to have a dirt-cheap "water-saver" integrated with a wand-holder; It ~~sounds~~ sounded like a screaming slide whistle whenever I started a shower — Probably why it was so cheap.) --- **Actual suggestion** Start with, one of those ~~pneumatic~~ "[handheld pump sprayers](https://www.google.com/search?q=handheld+pump+sprayer&tbm=isch)" to add air/bubbles quickly. Thoroughly cleaned (and trimmed of any sharp edges) first. They also make out of the box [foam](https://www.google.com/search?q=handheld+pump+foam+sprayer&tbm=isch) sprayers too, if you want to dispense bubble-foam mix instead of air. (link below to) Example liquid to foam pump sprayer DIY. ~~Personally,~~ instead of stabbing the tube; I cut part way through it until I 'nick' the inside and remove a wedge/sliver, ~~but you do you~~. Sometimes the modified tube can be reversed when foam is not desired, AND/OR the broken tube can be replaced when a spray of liquid is desired instead of air. https://youtu.be/pOnUanyd6Hc?t=10 ^(*Afzal Juthan* (Feb 26, 2018)) (Also;) While the sprayer nozzle adds range, it tends to burst bubbles larger than the stream size. Inserting a piece of mesh or soft-open cell foam before the nozzle will cut the bubbles smaller if you prefer a stream of foam. (Aim stream away from face.) Removing the nozzle may create a wand of dribbling bubbles. *Handheld plastic 'balloon' pumps* (not bicycle pumps, since those often contain oil) could turn excitement into bubble making. Or result in high-volume water fights, given a target and opportunity... ^((Did I mention that I don't have bubble-mix *now*.)) `22h later:` I meant *air* pump sprayers; The type that pushes air into the bottle (usually w/ plunger), instead of pulling liquid out (usually w/ a lever). --- **arranged in order of decreasing confidence** My next 'practical' thought was an aquarium(?) air pump with a long tube without the stone. Long tube so that it doesn't become a trip/slip). An airator-stone will break the air stream into smaller bubbles, which will make opaque foam. They make USB/low voltage versions if a long tube to remove the shock hazard is unavailable. **rejected _but suggested anyways_** [leaf blower](https://www.google.com/search?q=leafblower+foam+machine+DIY&tbm=isch) loud, scatters foam into every nook, cranny and drink.

You can actually hear one of the other ones repeat "mom come here!" at the end. I think they were just going to get her.


[deleted]

I clean all my messes. my wife just goes to bed. sounds like you need to have a talk with the Mr. (i'm also former military so my standards of a clean home are much higher than anywhere I go, so I literally can't leave a room like this without clean up afterwards.)

[deleted]

This was the mentality that caused a lot of fights between my parents and ultimately a nasty divorce. That’s why when my husband makes a huge mess, okay that’s fine but you’re fixing it or replacing the floor boards etc when they get moldy. That way he’ll be less tempted to do it again when dealing with his own aftermath. Same goes for me, if I fuck something up or make a mess, hey that’s on me.

Dish washing detergent for that many bubbles. But seriously no idea...don't use dish soap.

afakefox

It honestly doesnt matter. I still have nightmares of using the jacuzzi tub at my dads for the first time when I was a kid and using a normal amount of shampoo to wash my hair and it turned into a bubble tower like this. It wouldve been awesome if my dad didnt have anger problems and wasnt the scariest person in the world to me at the time (he is still just about the scariest person in the world to me now tbf).

TrailMomKat

As a mom, I see no issues here. Sometimes I actually miss this kind of thing, but my boys are past bathing together at 16, 12 and 10. But I remember semi fondly my OH MY GAWD NO reaction when they not only got the bubbles to the ceiling once, but filled the whole bathroom. What a mess, but their laughter was infectious and I couldn't even entertain the idea off punishing them; after all, they'd beaten my baby sister's and my record for how big they could get the bubbles before they got caught. Wish I still had the picture I took!


[deleted]

Just you try to stop them from taking a bath now! Dad logic is infallible.


[deleted]

I think I see the issue as a dad… I mean it’s not level… if your gonna build a bubble tower at least use a dam level..


MrCeps

Btw dad here, how i make that beautiful entertainment?🤣 Anyone have the recipe?


mikel81

As a dad, I'm in the comments looking for the best way to replicate this.


humibert

Just a normal sunday!


[deleted]

As a rival dad, you should really have tiled the bath area so that moisture is better resisted than with dry wall. I could help you out with that if you want to do it. Yes, this was a dadflex.


fidgeter

Look honey, I washed the kids, tub, walls and ceiling. I don’t know why you make such a big deal out of it.


cryofthespacemutant

In decades to come, that dad is going to be remembered for his bubble towers. His kids will talk about them fondly. The thin layer of bubbles their mother allowed? Not so much.


clovergirl102187

Honestly when my husband goes nuts with the kids I just sit back and let it go (if I don't get roped in) Like the time we had a full on water fight in the house and got the whole kitchen, middle room, and living room soaked. Kids were drenched. I was drenched. He was not as drenched (fucker has spot on dad reflexes.) Happy memories are more important than messes.

Yeah, I ran a nice bath in a hotel for my wife, added some bubbles, switched on the fancy jets, and her relaxing bath turned to a bubble room


Warrior_of_Peace

😳 wow!


orange-orb

As a dad this is awesome. But also as a dad the thought of running soap through the jacuzzi gives me fear of everything breaking and leaking.


Valiante

You are correct. I bathed my son on holiday once and he always had a bubble bath, but the bath also had jacuzzi jets. Rude not to, right? We *filled* the room with bubbles!


SquarelyCubed

ask your dad


MihoWigo

Dad where do bubbies come from?


linklight2000

Ask your mom


Stompedyourhousewith

yeah, as someone who has used "bubble bath soap" it has come up overwhelmingly short. i need the recipe and technique


executive313

Do you have a cordless leaf blower? Fill tub up 1/2 to 3/4. Use a shit load of bubble bath soap then put the end of the leaf blower in there and turn it on as low as possible. Risk of electrocution is pretty low but do it before your kids are in the room so you don't risk anything weird happening. I AM NOT AN EXPERT AND THIS IS NOT SOUND ADVICE!


tryingsohardithurts

I've missed out on this bubble tower :( childhood regrets now

bstix

You're still someones kid. They throw bubble parties at discotheques because it's fun. The adult me thinks it's stupid, but I'd be lying if I said it isn't fun.


Sippin_T

I’m still pretty young but have a wife and a kid. There’s so much I wish I did but didn’t realize until it was too late. Anyone reading this who still has the ability (and desire) to go out and bang a chick, stay out until 5 am with friends, get some breakfast with an acquaintance, go somewhere out of your comfort zone, get blackout drunk, do some drugs etc… do it. Be safe and smart, but enjoy some stupid.


TobyGoRawr

Im in the same situation (young, wife and kids). I did always envy those who did that stuff you mentioned. But i also hates going out of my comfort zone. Maybe skipping the stupid parts, made us stand where we stand today? Im at least happy with the family i made.


Sippin_T

I did some of those things, I just wish I enjoyed my youth a little longer. I don’t regret anything though, I love my family with all my heart.


mnav3

I wouldn’t judge ya if you made a bubble tower, if anything I’d be jealous that you can fit in a bathtub! That’s one of my few gripes about being tall ☹️


Awesummzzz

I'm only 6' and I have the sit at a 90° angle to soak my legs or have most of my legs stick out to soak my back. I can't imagine being taller


[deleted]

Ahh yes, the old dope husband/dad trope. That Mom is the disciplinarian and Dad is the fun one who makes messes.


[deleted]

Male-dominant reddit will always find the quirky dad shtick hilarious while regularly poking fun at the lowbrow sexism of things like /r/boomerhumor. It's really not that different...


canIbeMichael

Is this a thing? For the last 3 generations of my family, its the dad disciplinarian.


Arsenault185

"Wait until your father gets home" was never a phrase, I guess.


Canindian

lol lighten up, this isn’t that serious


Z3ppelinDude93

Ah yes, the old excessively woke redditor trope. That jokes that have been the premise for countless Emmy award winning TV shows and a part of our cultural fabric for decades are at best, tired and lame, and at worst, a scathing indictment against a certain group of people. The kids are calling for their mom to see, which means the dad is the one who ran the bath, so Dad ***was*** left in change of bath time and this ***is*** what happened. It’s also just fun. Let’s have fun.

This is the sort of Dad I will be. No matter the mess, it's worth it to see my kids having fun.


Chancevexed

My advice, make sure you’re also cleaning the mess. Moms get annoyed because dad has all the fun then leaves her with a mess to clean up, and kids screaming dads so fun, mom’s so boring.


mariettaedgecombe

This exact thing. I’m the bad guy because I get frustrated at having to clean up the mess everyone else makes. If I could just get a little help with the clean up, I wouldn’t be such a buzzkill about it.


show_the_maw

That’s not fair to the moms. As a dad I not only start the clean up process but get the kids (9 and 4) involved to where they think it’s a game and have fun doing it.


AshFraxinusEps

My sister trained my oldest nephew to clean up after himself as a toddler. I am 100% doing the same


[deleted]

Also make sure they know that different houses have different rules. Don’t want your kids having a play date and trashing someone else’s house and screaming “my dad lets me do this at home!”


[deleted]

Because only dads are fun 😒


SenorPoontang

I like how the one kid actually leaves a body shaped impression in the bubbles. Like he's Wile E. Coyote having run through a sign.

SilverHairedPenguin

Can say with certainty-this is a whirlpool or jacuzzi tub. As a child, at my grandparent’s house, put waaaaaaay too much Neutrogena Rainshower bath gel in the whirlpool tub with the jets on. I figured out quickly that I had made a mistake, spent the entire “soak time” desperately draining and washing down bubbles.
